Physician-pharmaceutical industry interactions continue to generate heated debate in academic and public domains, both in the United States and abroad.  Despite this, recent research suggests that physicians and physicians-in-training remain ignorant of the core issues and are ill-prepared to understand pharmaceutical industry promotion.  There is a vast medical literature on this topic, but no single, concise resource.  This book aims to fill that gap by providing a resource that explains the essential elements of this subject.  The text makes the reader more aware of the key ethical issues and allows the reader to be a more savvy interpreter of industry promotion, have a heightened awareness of the public and medical legal consequences of some physician-pharmaceutical industry interactions, and be better equipped to handle real-life encounters with industry.
